This is by far the best homemade sauce I've had. All I did was sub the maple syrup for honey, and added extra garlic. It absolutely fulfilled the craving I've been having.

Ever since I found a gluten-free ramen brand I like, I have been on a total ramen kick! I love this stir fry version for a quick and easy dish! I also found some GF veggie dumplings that would be perfect with it! Thanks for the awesome recipe, Christie! 🙂

Ramen is definitely my favorite type of Asian noodle! And I have a TON of ramen packages I need to use, extra veggies from the farmers market.. just need to figure out where to get that gochugaru

Thanks Rosemary! Mine too! It's such a delicious noodle and this is a great way to not use those sauce packets and just make your own simple sauce! You can get gochugaru from any Asian or Korean grocer in the spice aisle.
